Monday night I 'cleaned' the spare room as best as I could! it's still pretty dusty but clean enough to unseal the door. We don't have to use the window to go in and out now!
I've made contact with conservation to get clearance for replacing the window lintel - i've not heard from them yet, but in the mean time I booked Dave Haigh from Marsh Design (a structural engineer) to cast his professional eye over the situation.
I highly recommend Dave - he's very helpful and generous with his time. He came around and agreed it needs replacing and gave some advice on sizes etc. Tip Top.
I've made contact with a builder dave recommended, unfortunately not the same Andy who did the living room lintel (he's made a run for it to Newcastle - good man) but another Andy - hopefully he'll prove to be just as good. He's giving me a call tonight to book a time to look at the job.
I had a word with our electrician friend too and he's coming around tomorrow to run the cables for the ring main and lighting circuits.
Tomorrow we're going to get plaster materials to do the stipple coat on Monday. Also, there is a 15% off at B&Q voucher available for this weekend, so we're thinking of stocking up on some materials we'll need soon - things like plaster board, floorboards, lights etc.
We think we've also sourced a radiator online for £100 less than most places, so that makes it a little less painful!
That's all for now.
Right, must go and get Pop's birthday present and Ma's mothers day present.
bye buy.
